As we reach the junction between this week and the last, we look back upon a packed week of blog posts that brought us interviews with our President and CEO Andy House, and Mr. Takashi Sogabe, the designer of PlayStation Vita. We also got the scoop on the first details of Mortal Kombat on PS Vita, the opening of the Starhawk Public Beta (how are you getting on with it?), first look at the WipEout 2048 opening movie and the unveiling of Resident Evil 6.
Next week we’re going to be in similarly fine fettle and, while I don’t want to drop a pile of spoilers on you, posts we have taking shape include a beginner’s guide to BlazBlue, a competition to win a PS Vita with a pile of games and an appearance from a well-known wearer of bow-ties…
